Quark Mining on Ubuntu Linux 15.04

This isn’t an endorsement of QuarkCoin. Just one of the many crypto-currencies (kind of like BitCoin) out there that I’m playing with. There doesn’t yet seem to be a Qt or Graphical Wallet for QuarkCoin yet. The Windows and Mac versions of the Quark Wallet seem to have mining built in. Hopefully a Linux version is in the works.

Assumptions:

I’ll make the assumption you are running Ubuntu, are an sudo’er on your system, are familiar with git and github and have a QuarkCoin wallet address on another system (Windows/Mac/Andrioid) where you can send your mined QuarkCoins.

Get your wallet:

Ensure/setup a QuarkCoin Wallet and address (for either Windows/Android/Mac) by installing a from http://www.qrk.cc

Join a mining pool:

For this walk through you’ll need to join a mining pool. A mining pool is just a server where folks work together to mine crypto-currencies. You can find a list of QuarkCoin pools here:

Thanks for the feedback Domino. I guess I just didn’t see one for Ubuntu/Linux. And, as of this AM http://qrk.cc seems to be un-renewed (or at least having some trouble) so I don’t know the status of the project. I hope to post something similar with regard to Monero soon.
